The Chrysanthemum.

Next to the Rose no plant is now 50 pOpu-
lar as the Chrysanthemum. 1t is only
some ten or twelve years since, in this coun-
try, its great value as an ornamental plant
for the fall and early winter months has cen
fully realized, although it has been long
valued in Europe, where it forms the great
attraction in all the floral exhibitions of
autumn. The first great Chrysanthemum
show was given in New York, some five
years ago. Since then every November,
Philadelphia, Boston, and other large cities
have WED with New York in getting up these
exhibitions, which have attracted tens of
thousands of visitors. The fashion is now
spreading into the smaller cities and towns
so that the day is not far distant when this
most beautiful OF all autumn flowers will be
found in every hamlet on the continent
whose occupants have any TASTE for flowers
1t is the floral emblem ufJapan, just as the
thistle is OF Scotland, or the Flcur dU Lis of

What Am 1 To Do?

The symptoms of Biliousness are unhappily but
too well known. They differ in different indivi-
duals to some extent. a Bilious man is seldom
breakfast eater. Too frequent, alas, he has an
excellent appetite for liquids but none for solids

The digestive system is wholly out of order and
Diarrhea or Constipation may be a symptom or
the two may alternate. There are often Ifemorrh-
ODDS or even loss of blood. There may be gdd-

Domestic Life In Japau,

Generally speaking, the Japanese men make
kind and affectionate husbands and the women
make virtnous and exemplary wives and
mothers; and the children are certainly the
happiest little imps in the world; their parents
fondle and spoil them most effectually, and al
lie same time never lose their control over
them. The non-irritating nature of the ia.
tive diet has much to do with such serene
nerves and temperaments. One never sees n
child whipped i'll Japan reproving mother
may administer n mild slap over the head,
which correction invariably brings the little
recalcitlants TO order.
The husband has absolute control over the
person of his wife, at the same time one
never secs Il man strike woman i'll japan
yet there is considerable pincling and slap
ping done on occasions when chose strange
and uiigovclnable spells of exasperating ugli-
ness known as tantrums settle down upon
their matrimonial horizon On these occ,l-
sloi's there is considerable free hitting, biting
and scratching INDUCED in on both sides of
the house; but the greater strength of the
husband invariably leaves him master of the
situation, and the beligerent household speed
lily resumes its serene and happy course On
such occasions, unless physical force were re-
sorted to. it would be difficult to say where
matters would end; for the women are very
childish, and in their paroxysms of fury
might speedily demolish the household unless

Irving to Steal Rides.

II suppose you think said u veteran con-
ductor tho other day, that all the people
who try to beat their fare are tramps, or
very poor people, or old FOUNDERS trying to
steal ride. Bless your soul, you never were
more mistaken in your life! Among the peo-
pie VIC have on our line who try to beat
their fares, and will lie, shuttle and often in
suit the conductor who endeavors to collect
cash or make them produce the ticket which
he Knows they have, is one wealthy man, and

other reason does not care to use it. season
ticket, which he tenders when the conductor
comes around He worked this trick ouite
successfully until one day he was caught, and
tho conductor took up the season ticket and
mado him pay cash besides.
Another way he has is to buy a ticket
from Podunk to South Podun.s and trust IN
checking his way TO Boston by swearing that
he gayo the conductor IL Boston ticket. Still
another OF his schemes is to get into crowded

him for ono of tho through passengers whose

when hc was confronted with tho five cent
ticket he had purchased with the intention of
getting fifty cents worth of travel, he called
the conductor q liar. Then there is still
another way; He plans it to take train

latter demands ticket, he asks angrily,

A Good Family Dessert.

One OF the best family desserts can he mazda
either in city or country of apples and stale
bread, says Miss Julia Corson, in Harper's
Bazaar: Peel ten good sized apples, core and
slice them, ami stew to Al pulp with sugar
enough to sweeten; meantime thickly butter
the sides and bottom of an oval earthen dish
and press all around them crumbs from the
inside of loaf of bread, having them nearly
an inch thick; when the apple is done mix
with it tablespoonful of butter and one ecv
beaten; put the apple into the dish without
disturbing the crumbs; over the surface put
all inch thick layer of crumbs dotted with
few bits of butter, and bake the pudding
until the crumbs at the sides are brown; turn
platter, just large enough to nclose the dish
within its rim, over the pudding dish quickly
turn both upside down, so that the pudding
will slip out on the platter, dust it with
powdered sugar, and serve it hot.
